 3 door and manual! Perfect. I’d have a manual R if it was available but bloody VW don’t sell them here. So I have to get my manual fix from my Polo.
 
 Literally just started teaching my daughter to drive in the Polo so she’ll have the option of buying manual cars if she prefers in future. But that wasn’t the main reason. I wanted her to learn what the relationship between her right foot and the engine is, understand how the car actually works and hopefully be a better driver for that knowledge.
